In the first photo, between the white truck and the two sets of yellow doors is a large orange overhead door. There is a significant slope downwards from the parking lot level where the truck is parked to the base of overhead door. It's probably in the order of a few rows of seats actually.

Yeah, I've been trying to find some kind of elevation drawing, I just figured it'd be about the parking lot level as stuff isn't going to go up or down a huge amount.
So if ice level if a few rows of seats worth below parking lot, and the water level is near the top of those orange doors which are probably what, 8' or so, water being up to row 10 doesn't seem unreasonable.

Structurally, I don't think there'll be much damage thanks to the fact that most of the water in the dome will be standing water, not raging rapids. The dome should be fine structurally soon, but as far as ammenities are concerned, it'll be a while before it's home sweet dome.

Any idea why they haven't released any photos? Seems kind of odd.
